When they bought the school building, they paid $2.1 million. The guy who owns that building next to it thought there was no way they'd build without his land, and held out for $7 million. As we can see, he guessed wrong. It turned out to be cheaper to go higher to make up for the lost width. So, now I guess we're stuck with that vacant sliver.

we're still counting on that sliver becoming downtown's newest 1-lane bowling alley.
